No more Lake City ammo? - 2023 Update Post #22

[Palerider]

I generally load everything to avoid shelling out the whole big $ chunk at once. The quantities I would want to stock make it generally unsuitable to come out of the budget otherwise.

Ah, didn*t know you were looking for bullets only.

New rumors popped up on social media yesterday that Lake City (now operated by Winchester) has canceled all commercial sales.

I also read that PMC (South Korea) did the same thing a month ago?

Expect to see panic buying of 5.56 happening.

Interesting. Maybe I just got lucky. I just got 1000 Winchester White box for $.31/ea after rebate (provided they actually send me the fucking rebate) a couple of weeks ago.

IF (IFFFFFFFFF) they did cancel commercial sales, there would already be millions of rounds in the pipeline for domestic commercial sales, but any panic buying created by these rumors will deplete that quickly. This could be someone with Olin/Winchester (OLN) stock trying to help out their stock price with some ammo sales.

Is it possible that shithead has had something to do with this for one of two reasons? i e our military supplies are so low that they need all they can provide at the time or since we can't take their guns, let's restrict their ammo?

im guessing its the military supplies getting low with everything that we are giving away. every so often i pick up a bulk order of ss109 projectiles for reloading. i think i have 6k to load right now. i even have 100 m855a1 to load.

I just bought PMC on Tuesday at what have been the standard prices since COVID ended.

Also I really like their xtac stuff. Never had a single malfunction with it and it shoots plenty straight enough for minute of bad guy at 300 yards.

Agree, the xtac ammo is great, can't see spending any more for anything allegedly better.

I did some reading into PMC while investigating these rumors. If everything they say is true, they do a lot to make sure the ammo they make is top notch.

Just picked up two cases of

for myself. Distributor still has 500+ boxes left, but I just took 100 of them.

Josh, I really like PMC ammo, I use a lot of their ammo in our MG rental program, especially their 308. Solid quality ammo for the MG's.
